Updates on Reproductive Health in Women with SLE
Is patient-administered cervical cancer screening an option for women with SLE? Should I prescribe estrogen containing contraceptives to SLE women with APL antibodies? What complications should I be aware of in pregnant women with SLE? Here are three abstracts that provide insight.

Clinical pearl! First-line tx w/ bio-originator or biosimilar ADA/ETA showed similar effectiveness & safety in long-term cohort of axSpA pts. Response to treatment was also similar between groups. Abs 0431 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/bGGXk51hIG https://t.co/PSsX3MpSXt

@erasmusmcintl @RheumNow Data here from @earlyarthritis (CATCH Canada cohort), similar results.
It's not just pain differences - but that's real too. It's lots of things, but whatever the case we ignore sex and gender's impact in RA at our peril.

#ACR22 Abs 0408 @philipcrobinson et al, nr-axSpA pts achieving long-term clinical outcomes w/ CZP tx after 1 yr were generally sustained over 3 yrs across MRI+/CRP+, MRI−/CRP+ and MRI+/CRP− subgroups; ASDAS-MI numerically highest in MRI+/CRP+. @RheumNow https://t.co/cjpp2qCN4O https://t.co/G2YjF6ubUf

Potential disconnect: Objective Inflammatory Response, OIR (MRI/CRP levels) vs Clinical Response,CR (BASDAI/ASDAS). Post hoc analysis AxSpA on Certolizumab. Majority of patients >50% improved OIR, only minority improved CR. Rudwaleit etal https://t.co/WdkmkCWClO #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/qlNUFhnuJQ

I've always presumed biopsy-neg GCA just hit skip lesions sections
What does RNA-Seq of temporal artery bx tell us?
positive bx similar to skip lesions
bx neg GCA very different
Sometimes it's not just the sampling
sometimes it's something different...

What do you look for on temporal artery examination in GCA assessment?
tenderness: minimally useful
reduced/absent pulse or thickening: quite good if there, nearly as good as halo
Good examination is powerful, if you're doing it right!

Abs 0406 demonstrates stronger relationship between disease activity (using BASFI and BASDAI) and quality of life in men w/ axSpA than women. IMO, it also demonstrates need for better assessment tools for women! #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/B44ZixyeAJ https://t.co/lMzpsGcsFM

Abs0399 ASAS recs for requesting/reporting imaging in suspected AxSpA pts key takeaway: communication!
Rheum provides pertinent hx (trauma, childbirth, pain location, duration, etc), DDx
Rads summarize hx & give pertinent +/- exam findings
